THE BEST, CHEAP RED LIPSTICKS

If there is one thing that has remained the same in my life over the course of almost two decades, it’s my affinity for red lipstick. There is something about a quick coat of brilliant red lacquer that can transform an entire look and attitude. Above all, red lipstick makes me feel daring and confident, and that is priceless. You know what’s even better? Finding a cheap red lipstick that you love.

Over the years, I have had reds in and out of my life. Some were just quick fixes, others stayed past their welcome (this one red matte lip I used to use I guess wore off really easily and left a red lip liner ring around my mouth, which no one bothered to tell me until I was at the post office one day…) and others have withstood the test of time. read more

TRENDING: WINTER PASTEL PINK

There’s something quite refreshing about winter pastel pink, am I right? It’s flirty, fun, and unexpected. This season, I have most definitely fallen in love with pink coats! By now, I’m sure you’ve been spotting them all over Instagram and on your favorite blogs and in magazines–and for good reason. Pink coats are undeniably chic and are a great way to stand out from the sea of neutrals and checks.

A few months ago, I styled this same pink coat with a white shirt dress and red lipstick. This go around, I went monochromatic on top with a pink blouse and a pink floral scarf. Sometimes I like to go super matchy matchy and today was one of them, so I decided to match the navy in my scarf with a pair of navy trousers. What I love about this look is I can easily wear it now, and also right into spring as the temperatures start to slowly warm up.read more
